This is such a simple dip, I keep some in the fridge almost constantly. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call it a knock-off or copy, but it's kinda like Alouette.
It's tasty spread on just about any cracker, but for a low carb, gluten free snack, try it with celery or romaine dippers. These are simply the small end of a heart-of-romaine leaf. When I'm chopping romaine for a salad, I always leave the last 4 to 5" and stash them in the fridge for just this purpose! They've got a perfect dipping shape, and I like them so much better than celery; no stringy stuff!
Garlic herb cream cheese spread or dip
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 T. sour cream OR Greek yogurt
1/2 t. granulated garlic
1/2 t. granulated onion
1 heaping t. dried oregano
1/4 to 1/2 t. freshly ground black pepper, to your taste
1/4 t. salt (if serving with veggies)
Stir together the cream cheese and sour cream (or yogurt) until pretty evenly combined. Add the other ingredients and stir till well mixed. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
Note: if you are serving this with crackers that are salted, you may leave out the salt.
